I Realized This When I Speak In the Second Person To Me. Trust Me It is Not Weird

When You Do That Compassion and Intrinsic Motivation Flows Through You

A few days back, a burning simple desire from my inner Productivity Queen ( LOL) made me ask the following question:

“Lalitha, You have been hosting Solo Podcast for over two years. You have written in Medium Publications for over a year and a half. You have fed your new desire by doing three Youtube Video Shorts. Now find a way to integrate all these.”

I guess doing my affirmations and conscious empowering and responsible Self-Talk is helping me ask these questions. As you can see, in the above words, I am unconsciously acknowledging my achievements with compassion and gratitude ( by talking in the second person-You), and at the same time just as a parent who encourages her child to go to the next level, suggesting a new idea, I am inspiring myself to take up a new project.

Two things have happened here…

I don’t have external pressure to do a certain way OR am I seeking any approval from an authority figure?

I feed my intrinsic motivation, compassionately to take responsible action steps with faith, fun, and a creative mindset. This is way different from extrinsic motivation which comes from outside

What happened?

Today being the weekend, after I nourished my body with 40 minutes of a beautifully and brilliantly structured Home workout program by Heather Robertson, I got the strongest desire to start this new project:

I use the anchor app on my phone to create my Podcast Episodes. I use my Laptop to write and publish on Medium.com. I use Canva and Youtube Applications to create Youtube Shorts.

Now You can imagine my thoughts….Yes, You got it right.

Youtube Short OR Article OR Podcast Episode… Which one should I begin?

This is what I did

I used my cell phone to watch Heather Robertsons’ video and work out. As soon as I was done I was enthusiastic to share my workout experience. I said to myself, as Youtube Shorts duration is under a minute, what three questions come up to me right now that I can answer in one minute and impact my audience? I opened my cell phone’s Note pad application and wrote three questions and answers quickly. Then I created the video in the canvas app and uploaded the MP4 video to Youtube.

1. Here is the link to The Youtube Short ( I focused on Completion VS Perfection):

2. Here is the link to my Podcast Episode

3. You are reading the article.

I am super happy to share my entire experience with you. I hope I am inspiring you in one of these ways so that you can take one ACTION STEP and run with it:

Be compassionate to yourself and be conscious of your self-talk

When you get inspired by a new idea, be bold to try new things, embracing your Core values.

You can too create your Podcast or articles or videos.
